Blank Slate

He faced the night alone Yet still he wonders where they all had gone It's taken far too long to realize He led the path while walking on thin ice But you can tell by his face That he's been searching for a place To call his own And though his heart won't change Another winter cycle through the rain Without much left to say He closed the door and walked away Although it's plain in sight Drowning out the noise outside He's tapping to the beat of yesterday Yesterday Below the frozen lake The cracks around her porcelain heart began to break And though there's not an easy road to fame She's tying strings and trying all the same But you can tell by her face That she's been searching for a place To call her own And though her heart has changed The pure white snow can't hide what she became Lost to the bitter cold Was once the girl that I had known Without a will to fight Her ambitions losing light She's walking through the door of yesterday Yesterday And though you were my friends I should be honest I was scared Of how you'll tear my heart apart and leave without a care I'll write a thousand songs about the music from that day I have a point in grieving over what you've thrown away Through every season's change The summer sunlight shines on our blank slate There's so much left to say A new door opened up today In this city's shining lights Reaching through the endless sky We're writing on the wall of yesterday Yesterday
